The visible side shows a round medal with a wide gold border, adorned with a relief decoration consisting of a realistic dog's head (German Shepherd type) in its center, surrounded by classic motifs such as a Greek frieze, laurel branches, and decorative animal elements. The medal is mounted on a contrasting red background, highlighting its solemn and retro appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA cartouche on the front bears the inscription \"BREVET MOURIES\" in black capital letters on a light background, typical of official presentations of the period. Below the medal, a handwritten sheet visible through the case specifies: \"Jason Brevet 1er degré Mouries, 28 septembre 1977, 1er excellent, jugé : Corinne Metro\", mentioning the discipline \"Jeu Tractée\" (canine event). The ensemble evokes an award given during a dog obedience or agility competition or certificate in the commune of Mouriès, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gilded finish of the medal, combined with the relief representation of the dog, emphasizes the honorary dimension of the object. The perimeter features a classic decoration of branches and palmettes, typical of vintage sports or cynophile award medals. The case, both sober and functional, protects the medal and highlights its symbolic importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general style, typography, and the dated handwritten sheet confirm a manufacturing from the late 70s, with a retro spirit.

It also constitutes a tangible testimony to the award practices and cynophile competitions in France at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
